Which Society of Cosmetic Chemists Chapter is yours?

Perry44 September 1, 2011

The Society of Cosmetic Chemists is probably the best organization for any cosmetic chemist to join. It connects you with cosmetic chemists around your area, around the country and even around the world. There are scientific conferences, a bimonthly journal of cosmetic science (peer reviewed research) and a host of chapter events every month.

Also, if you are looking for a job there are often jobs posted in the various SCC chapter newsletters.

How to Become a Cosmetic Chemist

The job of a cosmetic chemist, or as they call it in the UK a cosmetic scientist, requires you to do a wide variety of things both in and out of the lab. Your main responsibility will be that of a formulator. This means you mix raw materials together to create cosmetic products like lipstick, nail polish, skin lotions, shampoos, toothpaste and any other type of personal care product.
